Smarter- yes. Better ballstriker, better returner, better match-player? No. That's no insult though. It just shows you how insane her level was a decade ago. She was basically unplayable.

Sharapova still isn't the same player that she was 5-6 years ago.

I meant only from a physical standpoint, I wasn't talking about Serena as a player.

I agree. She doesn't look nearly as impressive in general as she did last year.
